HRE C20's or C21's

Hi all!

Sorry mods for putting this in the wrong forum but thought this would get more foot traffic. Feel free to put it in the appropriate forum if you feel it necessary.

I would like everyone's opinion whether C20s or C21s would look better. This is going on a Guards Red Cayman S which will probably not be lowered. Also, I'm looking at black with a polished lip.

Also, I was curious about sizes. It seems that HRE is recommending 19x9s up front and 19x10s in the back. Is that a general concensus? I'm okay with the back but only heard of people putting 19x8.5s up front but my knowledge is limited.

Any input would be appreciated!!

(The left pic is C20 and the right pic is C21)

Thanks!

C20s with the center painted black and polished lips. That's if you have black interior.

I prefer the C21s. Those are what I would've gotten if I was still sick with the modding bug.

I don't think the mesh design (C20) suit the Cayman. I think they belong on a 911 or BMW.
I prefer spokes on a Cayman, so i prefer the (C21).
But ultimately, i love Champions.

Hey Moto,
I think the C21 will look great on your Cayman. I would run 19X8.5 front and 19X10.5 rears.

I actually have Stone Grey...is that close enough? I am thinking about painting the side grill and possibly rear spoiler black. I've already changed the front fog light trim to black.

Thanks for the input everyone!! Keep them coming. I originally wanted to make this into a poll but goofed....

I think black would be ok with stone grey, but I'd definitely get the windows tinted if you go with black. Have you considered getting the centers painted body color?

I agree with this 100%. Paint the centers body color. Go to the Porsche web configurator and pick the body matched wheels if you want to see what they will look like. The polished lip and bolts will look awesome. Then again, I am biased.

I like the C20. Those would look incredible in 19" or 20".

Motofanatic,

Just curious, but why are you looking at the "C" or competition series wheel vs. the regular HRE wheels? There is a much better selection of patterns in their regular line, plus you can get the R versions that have the deep smooth lip rather than the step lip.
